Don’t Turn Back Now! Tips For Running Your First Pollfish Survey

As powerful as market research can be for a growing or established business, it can be complicated. So complicated, in fact, that many companies mistakenly think they need some glitzy agency or pricey platform to solve it for them.

The Pollfish survey platform demystifies this process, answering tough questions as you create your first survey.

But if you are still stuck as you create your first Pollfish survey, we get it. Choosing the right market research partner is a big decision.

In an effort to help answer any remaining questions you may have as you move through your first survey, we’d like to respond to some of the most common issues our customers face. We hope this helps.

“Pollfish is not a fit for my specific need”

The right research partner depends on your specific needs, and we understand that. For example, if you need a survey that takes longer than 25 minutes to complete, our quick, mobile-optimized surveys may not be the right fit for you.

However, we have added some exciting, new features that have expanded our capabilities far beyond where they were just a few short months ago.

Among these improvements are:

Third-Party Survey Linking: If you have already created a survey using another provider, you can link that survey to our massive audience, using our cutting-edge methodology. This saves you time and keeps your survey current with the highest data quality standards.

API: If you need to create 100 surveys all at once, we can help. Using our API, you can import data at scale, and run surveys on the Pollfish platform in bulk.

“I’m still researching survey tool alternatives”

When searching for a survey platform, we know you have several options. Unfortunately, all survey platforms are NOT created equal.

For example, did you know that Google Surveys collect respondents from a paywall? This means that users have to interact with a survey in order to get to their destination. The inability to escape the survey leads to rushed answers, false positives and poor data quality.

Or that Survey Monkey Audience allows paid professional survey takers to sign up for their panel?

In short, you need the power of REAL insights.

We want to make sure you get them, one way or another. That is why we created head-to-head comparisons for each of the top platforms out there. See how we measure up.

We want you to love Pollfish, and you can only do that once you are fully confident that you have made the right decision. Let us know how we stack up when you’re fully aware of all your options.

And remember, we are adding new features all the time. So if you have a feature request, let us know and we can either give you access to it, or let you know our timeline to completion.

“I’d like to get paid to take surveys”

Many companies provide survey respondents to researchers and survey panels like Survey Monkey and Qualtrics.

Some of these companies–Toluna, Cint, several others–incentivize their respondents with points that can be exchanged for cash or gift cards.

Pollfish does things differently. We administer our surveys in the apps consumers are using anyway, offering in-app incentives like extra lives in a game or in-app coupons. Our respondents can escape their surveys at any time and continue using the app.

We do this because paid survey respondents have been proven to reduce data quality for researchers. Paid respondents have been known to rush through survey questions so they can earn as much as possible, creating rushed responses that don’t accurately represent consumer opinion.

Not only do Pollfish surveys target real, active consumers, our AI fraud prevention technology removes completes we believe may have been insincere. We identify everything from rushed responses to repetitive attempts to take a survey to answers that don’t follow a logical syntax. This weeds out those who are attempting to profit from quantity over quality.
